Description: RICHARD FEYNMAN Signed Book Inscribed "To Don Roth / Richard Feynman" on title page in black ink. This is a First Edition / Eight Printing in Near Fine book and dust jacket. #002755 JAMES SPENCE AUTHENTICATION Letter of Authenticity JSA LOA. My name is Mark Roth and this book was personally signed by Richard Feynman to my father Don Roth. I obtained this autograph in person in the summer of 1987 from Feynman at his residence in Altadena California. Don Roth (Donald Joseph Roth 1931-2010) just happened to be Richard Feynman’s first and closest neighbor in California. Both men were renting side by side residential units in a duplex located at 844/846 Alameda Street in Altadena that was owned by my grandparents (Joseph G and Bertha R Roth) They were next door neighbors from 1953 until 1958 when my parents purchased a home in a nearby community. My father was an appliance sales and repairman in the Pasadena area who enjoyed trouble shooting and fixing things. Feynman got his start in in much the same way by fixing his friends typewriters and radios. I’m sure these two had many conversations as neighbors and continued to have a life long friendship throughout their lives. Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World he was ranked as one of the ten greatest physicists of all time. He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became known to a wide public in the 1980s as a member of the Rogers Commission, the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Along with his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing and introducing the concept of nanotechnology. He held the Richard C. Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology. Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics through both books and lectures including a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom and the three-volume publication of his undergraduate lectures, The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman also became known through his semi-autobiographical books Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think?.
